My daughter asked, “Do you ever have any regrets, Mom?” And while I know she was asking this question on a philosophical level, my mind immediately went to this puffin sweater I saw in Iceland. It’s been 3 years since I saw it in a shop there, & I still regret not buying it.

Amazing to watch this guillemot lay this morning. The one in the middle. An all too rare sight this year and no male present alongside is unsual. Odd to see a guillemot egg without any markings. #SuperSeabirdSunday @UK_CEH @TheSeabirdGroup @NatureScot

What a historic moment, and perhaps the most significant update of the project to date. Although not pin-sharp we're sure this is 5H1, the first wild-fledged Osprey of the new south coast population to return. What a great moment! @CareysSecret @timmackrill @RoyDennisWF

And then there were two!! Great to see CJ7 return safely this AM. This is the earliest she’s ever been back. 022 was also pleased to see her, getting straight down to ‘business time’ within 20 minutes! Let the 2024 season commence! @timmackrill @RoyDennisWF @MeganMcCubbin

The other week we went to Danebury hillfort as part of our student field trip. I loved meeting this fluffy friend. The use of rare breeds as part of the landscape management at sites such as this really helps to bring the sites to life!

Say hello to our first lambs of the season -- and one very proud mum 💚 We'll be watching them as they age for two important changes: their coat will gradually lighten to match their mum's, and they'll grow in their horns! These two lovely little boys could get up to 6 each 😲

An exhibition entitled Seasons of Sanctuary is running in the Lees Gallery, Talbot Campus, as of TODAY! The exhibition is a reflective piece encapsulating the first year of the Sanctuary project: four seasons through four craft gestures. Please do go visit! Images: Megan Russell

After years of putting some of Darwin's wisest quotes on cakes, this year I chose his most relatable. Let us never forget that Darwin was human. Masterpiece, no? 😂 Happy Darwin Day.

Annual break from twitter- probably won’t be rushing back. Love to all the lovely peeps here who make me smile- if in the meantime you all end up in a nicer alternative to the twittersphere, have fun and hopefully l’ll track you down eventually. Xx

Congratulations to Julia Best et al., winners of the 2023 Ben Cullen Prize! Their research uncovered that the chicken was introduced to Europe and North Africa much later than previously believed. Check out the officially award-winning work (🆓) buff.ly/3xlcBVj
